Mr. Saman Ratnayake, Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Health, said that out of 600 types of drugs imported into Sri Lanka under the Indian loan scheme, only two drugs have been confirmed to contain bacteria.
He said that the drugs that contained the bacteria were used to treat eyes and they were removed from use.
Mr. Rathnayake said that several types of medicines have been temporarily withdrawn from use, and a decision can be taken regarding that after the tests.
Mr. Ratnayake also mentioned that people should not be afraid of getting treatment from hospitals.
